7631. 'Go to Pharaoh' means the presence of the truth from God with the molesting ones. This is clear from the meaning of 'going (in) to someone' as presence, as in 5934, 6063, 6089, 7498; from the representation of 'Moses' as the truth from God, dealt with in 6771, 6827; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the ones in the next life who molest those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7220, 7228.

6679. 'And did not do as the king of Egypt spoke to them' means that the intention of those under the influence of falsities was not carried out. This is clear from the meaning of 'did not do as he spoke' as the fact that their intention was not carried out, that is, they were unable to destroy the truths meant by 'the boys', even though their intention was to destroy them by whatever method they could, 6676; and from the meaning of 'the king of Egypt' as separated factual knowledge that is opposed to the Church's truth, dealt with in 6651, thus falsity since that factual knowledge is false.
